  • AIDS Sexuality and the Black Church

    Peter Lang Publishing Inc AIDS Sexuality and the Black Church

    2 in stock

    Book SynopsisAIDS, Sexuality, and the Black Church: Making the Wounded Whole is a revealing account of AIDS activism within Black churches in New York City. AIDS has taken a devastating toll on the Black community. Blacks make up approximately 13% of the total United States population, but almost half of all those infected with HIV in the U.S. are Black. Previous research has claimed that these high rates are due, in large part, to the lack of an immediate response by Black Church leaders and officials when AIDS first began to strike Blacks in the early 1980s. The Black Church can play a major role in providing AIDS education to its parishioners and community. However, feeling uncomfortable with addressing sexuality and homosexuality, many Black churches have simply avoided addressing AIDS believing that such conversations were inappropriate for church. As a result, The Balm in Gilead was formed in 1992 to encourage AIDS awareness among Black religious institutions. The Balm in Gilead is nowTrade Review«This fine book, a thoughtful study of the response of the Black Church to the AIDS epidemic, is of value for students of the sociology of religion, of race, and of health. But perhaps it is most valuable as an exploration in the construction of a social problem, and as an offer of hope for the enlightened, caring development of solutions.» (Barbara Katz Rothman, Professor of Sociology, City University of New York, Past President, Society for the Study of Social Problems) «This is an important book about AIDS in Black communities that details the significant role that Black churches and community-based organizations have played in responding to this crisis, especially in Black communities. Harris’s discussion of The Balm in Gilead is especially instructive for all those interested in how one community-based organization helped to gener-ate a movement in response to HIV and AIDS in Black communities. In the pages of this text we learn how some members of ‘the Black Church’ were mobilized to use their power to confront the epidemic of HIV and AIDS. This book is a necessary and important read for all those concerned with the fight against AIDS, especially as it continues to take hold in Black communities.» (Cathy J. Cohen, David and Mary Winton Green Professor of Political Science, University of Chicago; Author of ‘Boundaries of Blackness: AIDS and the Breakdown of Black Politics’)

    Baker Publishing Group Defining Love A Philosophical Scientific and

    Book SynopsisSome scientific studies suggest that human beings are innately selfish and that Christian virtues like self-sacrifice are a delusion. In this intriguing volume, esteemed theologian Thomas Jay Oord interprets the scientific research and responds from a theological and philosophical standpoint, providing a state-of-the-art overview of love and altruism studies. He offers a definition of love that is scientifically, theologically, and philosophically adequate. As Oord helps readers arrive at a clearer understanding of the definition, recipients, and forms of love, he mounts a case for Christian agape and ultimately for a loving God.

    Book SynopsisAlthough scholars have increasingly investigated the impact of religion and religious movements on nature, studies of the interactions between Mormons and the natural environment are few. This volume applies the perspectives of environmental history to Mormonism, providing both a scholarly introduction to Mormon environmental history and a spur for historians to consider the role of nature in the Mormon past.Mormons have interacted with nature in significant ways—whether perceiving in it a place to find God, wildness needing domestication and control, uncorrupted spaces in which to build communities to usher in the Second Coming, or a world brimming with natural resources to ensure economic well-being. The essays in this volume—written by leading scholars in both environmental and Mormon history—explore how nature has influenced Mormon beliefs and how these beliefs inform Mormons’ encounters with nature. Introducing overarching environmental ideas, contributors examine specific aspects of nature and Mormon theology to glean new insights into the Mormon experience.Trade Review“This felicitous collection deepens our understanding of the changing relationship between Latter-day Saints and the environmental world that here encompasses land, water, habitat, place, and home. A milestone in Mormon studies and a benchmark for future scholarship.” — Jared Farmer, author of On Zion’s Mount: Mormons, Indians, and the American Landscape“A significant contribution. These essays provide a synthesis of the growing literature in the field as well as a springboard and road map for future studies.” — Andrew H.

    Out of stock

    Book SynopsisWith globalization helping those who assert incompatible differences between their respective faiths, clashes of faith are increasingly common in different parts of the world. As a result, the study of religious conflict is also increasing. This book reverses that perspective by addressing a case of peaceful religious coexistence and social cohesion, namely in the South Indian village of Tranquebar (Tharangambadi) in Tamil Nadu. The birthplace of the Lutheran mission to India in 1706, this former Danish colonial settlement is now a famous heritage site. Although badly hit by the 2004 tsunami and today numerically dominated by members of a Hindu fishermen's caste, so far the town has managed to steer clear of the kind of religious conflicts too often found in a number of states in present-day India, including Tamil Nadu. This in-depth study, based on post-tsunami field studies in 2006 and 2007, examines the ways in which Hindus, Muslims and different Christian denominations interact in their day-to-day lives. Further, it demonstrates that the role played by religion - as far as social cohesion is concerned - is invariably tied up with several other factors (social stratification, economic development, educational institutions and such social communities as caste councils, etc.) and may serve as a basis for unity as well as division.

    15 in stock

    Book Synopsis“About Shelters and Encounters. An Array of Theological Voices”: that is the title of the thirtieth volume of the Journal of the ESWTR. As implied, the volume offers a wide range of texts, ranging from an elaboration of the shelter as a fitting metaphor for the location and the mode of developing queer theology to a round table discussion between African and Dutch female theologians about insider/outsider positions when doing theology as African female theologians in Europe. Bracketed by these two articles, four other texts add to the variety of voices the volume presents. The first of these invites the reader to share in a multi-layered account of the encounter of two women theologians from different disciplines, reading and interpreting the encounter of Mary and Elisabeth as it has been described and portrayed in pictures and text. Following suit, the reader will find a programmatic depiction of what a program for gender-conscious religious education could look like. Next in the array is a description of how interreligious ethics can contribute to elucidating moral dilemmas of Christian and Muslim women. And, closing this inner section, the volume offers a report of a(n empirical) pilot study conducted amongst participants of the Seventh Synod-Weekend of the Dutch Ecumenical Women’s Synod into how women attribute religious authority and why. Last but not least, three reviews of four recently published books accompany this issue, making it truly a volume with an array of theological voices.

    Book SynopsisThis volume contains the proceedings of an international conference on the relation between asceticism and aspirations about reaching for perfection held at the University of Leuven 21-23 October 2019 and organised in the framework of Kosmoi, an association of Leuven colleagues from various disciplines working in the field of religious studies. Contributors were asked to integrate in their essay (aspects of) one of the following four basic topics: (1) the goal and purpose of living an ascetic life; (2) the means, both material and immaterial, available for reaching this goal; (3) the place of asceticism within the whole of religious practices in a particular religious tradition; and (4) the challenges and dangers of adopting such a lifestyle. These topics are addressed in various religious traditions, with a focus on Christian tradition – Western and Eastern, and through various approaches – historical, anthropological, and more philosophical.

  • The Importance of the Community Rabbi: Leading

    Urim Publications The Importance of the Community Rabbi: Leading

    Book Synopsis The contemporary rabbi is influenced by the modern rabbinic establishments throughout the world, including the rabbinate in Israel. The rabbinate's monopoly on opinions and interpretations prevents rabbis from expressing their individual positions out of fear of delegitimization. The current structure gives the public a negative impression of the rabbinic establishment. The Importance of the Community Rabbi strives to describe and delineate key requirements for a good rabbi, i.e., one who can provide socially acceptable halachic solutions within the parameters of Orthodox thinking. Rabbi Sperber elucidates the halachic techniques and mechanisms that may be used toward this goal. These are further illustrated with stories from rabbinic literature and examples from various responsa.
